Yeah, I think your question is 10X more genuine than his response.

There is a difference between situational depression and clinical depression. One is a disorder that requires medical attention from psychiatrists that actually do know neurology and the other is resolved with therapists that are designed to help people process emotions or maybe even a change of situation. There is clearly a wide spread misunderstanding between the disorder and the emotion. That's part of the importance of this thread, to help people understand. Mental health is very, very misunderstood.

“Do you even know anything about how these mental health issues present themselves neurologically?”

Since DWV’s inquiry is so genuine let’s direct it to you. Do you?

:rolleyes:

In some forms of depression the hippo campus differs in size but there doesn't seem to be any conclusive neurological sign of depression yet because the brain is complex and we don't know it that well. Kind of DWV's point genuinely critiquing your understanding of depression.

I dont.

*hippocampus

My post was simply stating that physiological nature of the ailment should be investigated when a patient has symptoms indicative of a mental disorder. And every human experience including every emotion and every thought is only physiology. There’s nothing about that even remotely invites a critique. The only criticism possible is either an irrelevant personal jab at me or an argument that mental health care doesn’t need to be improved.

Or that it needs to be improved but maybe we dont know enough to improve it? which is when i questioned your knowledge of the topic and presented a follow up personal example.

Can we get off the high horses and chill

Im not on a high horse. I asked a genuine question and offended our most offensive member. Idk what you want me to say.

low horses >

Ive kept it civil.

I post that the people who provide care should understand the neurology. And the response I get is what do you even know about the neurology. I never claimed to be qualified to provide care so outside of trolling explain to me the value of that question.
